NAME
       certwatch_selinux  -  Security  Enhanced Linux Policy for the certwatch
       processes

DESCRIPTION
       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the certwatch  processes	 via  flexible
       mandatory access control.

       The  certwatch processes execute with the certwatch_t SELinux type. You
       can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps  com‐
       mand with the -Z qualifier.

       For example:

       ps -eZ | grep certwatch_t

ENTRYPOINTS
       The  certwatch_t	 SELinux  type can be entered via the certwatch_exec_t
       file type.

       The default entrypoint paths for the certwatch_t domain are the follow‐
       ing:

       /etc/cron.daily/certwatch

PROCESS TYPES
       SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
       system

       You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps

       Policy governs the access confined processes have  to  files.   SELinux
       certwatch  policy  is very flexible allowing users to setup their cert‐
       watch processes in as secure a method as possible.

       The following process types are defined for certwatch:

       certwatch_t

       Note: semanage permissive -a  certwatch_t  can  be  used	 to  make  the
       process	type  certwatch_t  permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
       permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux  denials)	 messages  are
       still generated.

BOOLEANS
       SELinux	policy	is customizable based on least access required.	 cert‐
       watch policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that	 allow
       you to manipulate the policy and run certwatch with the tightest access
       possible.

       If you want to deny any process from ptracing or	 debugging  any	 other
       processes,  you	must  turn  on	the  deny_ptrace  boolean.  Enabled by
       default.

       setsebool -P deny_ptrace 1

       If you want to allow all domains to use other domains file descriptors,
       you must turn on the domain_fd_use boolean. Enabled by default.

       setsebool -P domain_fd_use 1

       If  you	want to allow all domains to have the kernel load modules, you
       must  turn  on  the  domain_kernel_load_modules	boolean.  Disabled  by
       default.

       setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1

       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.

       setsebool -P fips_mode 1

       If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
       on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.

       setsebool -P global_ssp 1

MANAGED FILES
       The  SELinux process type certwatch_t can manage files labeled with the
       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

       auth_cache_t

	    /var/cache/coolkey(/.*)?

FILE CONTEXTS
       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
       type.

       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls

       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to	 these	files.
       SELinux certwatch policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
       certwatch processes in as secure a method as possible.

       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT

       SELinux defines the file context types for the certwatch, if you wanted
       to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
       the semanage command  to	 sepecify  alternate  labeling	and  then  use
       restorecon to put the labels on disk.

       semanage fcontext -a -t certwatch_exec_t '/srv/certwatch/content(/.*)?'
       restorecon -R -v /srv/mycertwatch_content

       Note:  SELinux  often  uses  regular expressions to specify labels that
       match multiple files.

       The following file types are defined for certwatch:

       certwatch_exec_t

       - Set files with the certwatch_exec_t type, if you want	to  transition
       an executable to the certwatch_t domain.

       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.

COMMANDS
       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default	 file  context
       mappings.

       semanage	 permissive  can  also	be used to manipulate whether or not a
       process type is permissive.

       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
       icy modules.

       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans

       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
       icy settings.
